Names
Sibulaküla (Sibulaküla) 
Onion village. Named after the small plots of ‘farmland’ or allotments around the Kaasani orthodox church, many of which grew onions, or after the church’s typical onion-shaped dome. The church – completed in 1721, severely damaged during the March 1944 bombing, icons looted in the 1970s, and partially burnt down on the night of 2009-07-15 – remains the oldest surviving wooden church in Tallinn. Its cemetery was probably destroyed in the early 1770s along with others in Tallinn following the Moscow plague riots of 1771. See Mõigu.

Such are the great enterprises of this world rewarded...
